Ninety farmers were randomly selected by multi stage random sampling technique. Semi-structured questionnaire was used to elicit data for the study. Descriptive statistics and multiple regression model were used in achieving the objectives. Results indicated that 74.44% of respondents were males with a mean age of 45 years. Majority （76.67%） were married with large house hold sizes. Majority （93.33%） received different level of education, with sources of credit from friends/relatives （30.00%）, cooperative societies （43.33%）, money lenders （14.44%）, and cumulatively from formal sources （（12.22%）. The result of the multiple regression analysis revealed age, household size, membership of cooperative societies, marital status, education level, farm size and amount of loan repaid at varied signs and levels as significant predictors of amount of agricultural credit acquired by farmers. The most common reason given among the respondents （55.89%） of those who misappropriated acquired agricultural credit, was meeting nonfood needs of the household. The farmers encountered problems of high interest rate （78.89%）, lack of collateral （75.56%）, long distance from source of credit （50.00%）, poor harvest （37.78%）, moratorium （33.33%） and delay in loan approval/disbursement （44.44%） as constraints to acquire credit. The study recommends that the state government should pass policies aimed at providing free educative seminars to all illiterate farmers to teach them possible ways and methods of acquiring credit. To ensure mass attendance to such seminars, little incentives should be given to farmer participants.展开更多
